Most content creators are not designers by trade and often use templates or master pages to create their content. While that can work well in some instances, other times it can lead to the content being written to serve the design rather than the design serving the content. Content should always be the primary focus.
That said, the blank canvas can be an intimidating place to start when you’re not familiar with how to lay out a page. Luckily, it’s not as complicated as you think. In this video, I show how to create multiple column layouts using guides within Storyline. The end result is a clean and consistent design that has the flexibility to display your content as needed.
